Brian Cushing looks ‘like a psycho’

Looking “like a psycho” is how Texans linebacker Brian Cushing described himself Sunday as he stood on the sideline with bandages covering up the bloody mess, which had previously covered his forehead and face like war paint in the movie Braveheart.

Without his helmet on, an amped-up Cushing head-butted Browns guard Shawn Lauvao, who had his own helmet securely fastened to his own head.

In the words of the movie character Tommy Callahan, played by the late Chris Farley in Tommy Boy:

Cushing, who leads the Texans with 61 tackles this season, has been showing off the neaderthal-like, old-school style of football this season. It reminds me of those nasty games I watched when I was a kid – when the Oilers and the Steelers would tear up the field and each other.

Cushing was mic’d up on Sunday, and this compilation of video and audio could make even Texans haters pumped.

I’m not a professional therapist, psychologist or mental health physician of any kind, so I cannot actually determine if Cushing is a “psycho”; but in the AMR book of whacky things, the dude is definitely a nutso when he’s on the field. And I like it. This might be what the Texans need more of on Sundays.
